Hypothetical FS/T situation

[simms]

This has not happened, to me, just wondering who's fault it would be in this situation.

You know there's a time when you want to buy some stuff, so you PM several people about similar items they sell.

Let's say you make a deal with someone and they would ship first. You agree on a price, then talk about the item's condition and provide them with your address to ship to.

They never answer your PM. You message a few days later asking them what's going on, if they're shipping, etc. No answer. So you wait a day or two, then you confirm with someone else, pay, and get it shipped same day.

2 weeks later you find out the first guy mailed it out without telling you. You also recieve the 2nd guy's package around the same time.

You only need one - who's fault is it? Yours, or the seller 1?

I'm thinking it's seller 1's fault, because they never confirmed a deal with mailing... or are you expected to wait? If so, how long?

Seller 1. he should have responded. He should pay for return shipping cost.

seller 1 can eat the shipping cost if he wants the item back.

Yes. However, it is your resonsiblity to pay for the first item or mail it back to him- he covers return shipping, or you can refuse the delivery.

in this situation, he's saying the item was delivered, so he can't refuse delivery.

I say you keep it if he won't pay for return shipping.

Seller 1's fault, no question.

It would be different if this happened over the space of 1 day, e.g. you talk to seller 1 and noon then buy from seller 2 at 3 PM, but in this "hypothetical" case your friend "bimms" gave seller1 plenty of time to respond.
